Gratitude

My dear pals I have been a bit too disturbed to be thinking about anything else other than, ‘PoK’, ‘ Uri Attacks’, ‘ 19 Martyrs, ‘Surgical Strike’. I am an extremely sensitive person. With age and experience I worked on it, so that it doesn’t really take over me… Like really???? Yes dude!!!!!! Anyway.

When I was an adolescent I used to watch these men clad in olive camouflage uniform, armed with weapons ( I am like haila!! ye asli hai?) on television. I see them only on news channels. See them in No Man’s Land, in jungle, in desert,in snow. And made me wonder do these men really exist???

Born and brought up in Bandra where we have grown up seeing celebrities, actors, actresses around. So I was sure they are just like us. Just that acting and glamour is their profession which makes them popular. Whereas, I see these men in uniform. I am like these men are not for real. I mean why would anyone on earth by choice, leave his family, friends, relatives, social life. Leave all the comfort of his home. Abandon just about everything. Also give away their lives. And that is their profession? Are you kidding me?

I wonder what makes them choose something like this. Why choose this? Choose to live every day as their last. I am sure their Dna not same like us. We civilians crib to stand for National Anthem, when played in cinema hall.. LOL! So as an adolescent and (obviously) till now and always they remain Super Heroes to me definitely the real ones, yet so unreal to me.

I came across this beautiful article on The Real Super Heroes and their not so ordinary life, dealing with ordinary emotion.

( Army Officer’s Wife On What It’s Like To Marry A Man Willing To Give Up His Life For The Country

How we get fooled by these so called Reality Shows fad. The shows dude seriously, only the channels and the judges earn a fortune. Leaving the participants and winners with temporary fame and a cheque of few dimes. I am not against it. But guys, especially to all the mothers, why can’t we teach our children about The Real Heroes ( we all are heroes to someone in someway..yo Bro! WE ARE!!!)

The Real Heroes are not who are acting. Those are actors, those are entertainers. The Real Heroes are on borders, in wars, who lay their lives for us. Who guard our motherland from enemies, without a single complain. So that we can sit in comfort of our homes peacefully and watch those entertainers on television.

Please dear all, especially mommies and youth learn, know, educate yourselves first about The Real Heroes. Then pass on the knowledge, show our children what it takes to be The Real Hero. Teach them to respect our flag, our National Anthem, our martyrs. Instill a feeling of pride and patriotism like any other emotion and values taught.

Teach them about Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Vallabh bhai Patel. Many more magnificently historic freedom fighters. Like we teach about hare and the tortoise. As parents and guardians show our youth and children the way to become one of those Real Heroes. It’s absolutely their choice what path they choose to walk on. Least we can do is show them.

Mera Bharat Mahaan every single day ( not only on 26th January or 15th August) because of every single RealSuper Hero from then to now.Let us remember them, thank them, celebrate their spirit, look up to them, take pride in their valour and salute their families every single day 🙌

As I close my eyes, inhale(interpreting as to… what is power to me), all that comes to my mind –POWER WITHIN, WOMAN POWER,POSITIVITY!As I open my eyes it’s GRATITUDE ! And when I look around here and there its so many things and varied context- manpower, political power! As I go further away from myself the line between POWER and CONTROL blurs!

To me everything positive is power. I am full of positivity, Which makes me extremely powerful! So What’s MY super power?

It’s…

A kind word

A genuine compliment

A thoughtful gesture

An extra effort

A helping hand

A listening ear

A warm touch

A honest opinion

Fearless attitude

A Smiley face

A Content soul

A Calm mind

Never underestimate the power of these!

Have you ever heard of man power? Nah! It’s manpower always. But you do hear about WOMAN POWER! Why because she is the creator, sustainer and potential destroyer ( hehe, I mean..why not? Who has the power to create, can also destroy).

GRATITUDE is an attitude of appreciation. Appreciation enhances the beauty ten folds. Be it people, health, relationships, anything that adds value, comfort, safety, security to you. Eventually making you more powerful reinforcing faith in yourself, people around and your life events.

As I go further … What do I see? Control freak people, clinginess, conceitedness, people putting you down for their needs and interest ( using their powers so that they can use you = negative power i.e. control ).

Power beautifies things around whereas Control abuses it. ( I choose not to talk about how people, things, emotions, positions have always been manipulated. Highlight the positives and just make yourself aware of the negatives.That’s what I follow).It is our choice absolutely what we choose to become.

The Abuser or Appreciator.

Never allow anyone or anything diminish your power!

power of WORDS…

Power of a Child…WARMTH!

Power of a Mother.. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

Power of a Family and Siblings.. SUPPORT!

Power of Spouse..TOGETHERNESS!

Power of Friends… ACCEPTANCE!

Few are blessed with genuine people around, few always get tested but that’s when we need to reinforce our power within. To walk our journey. No one can do if for us. Own it! Live it!

Power is in your Being!

Realise your Power!!!

So, can an outside source or a person make u powerful?

NO! no one can make you that, nor anything. You can only be full with guilt, sorrow, rudeness
